FROM YOUR PRESIDENT:

 

2010 is moving toward summer and show season with great speed.  January went by very quickly.  We attended the Portland AG Show in late January.  Chapter 30 had 8 tractors, a T6 Orchard crawler and a nice TO 35 Ferguson.  Ken and Vickie Robison and Needra and I had our travel trailers on the grounds and it was just a short ways to the exhibit halls.  Also Ken and Anna Woodard and Leroy Staudenmier were there helping at our table.  There were many other groups present.  John Deere, Cat, the logging museum, model railroads, car club, Branch 15 and the National Guard with their older military vehicles were all there.  The weather was nice for the end of January.  That's one thing that might make it difficult to attend.  The weather can be terrible that time of year.
 
IH is the featured tractor at the Brooks Steam Up this year.  We can have 30 tractors, crawlers and trucks out in the area in front of the bleachers.  I would like to see a variety of IH in this site from F Series through the number series with some crawlers, cub cadets, trucks and scouts.  I am hoping for a large turn out from Chapter 30 members and the rest of the pieces will be in our regular area back by the truck museum and across from John Deere.  Remember, IH made a large variety of items.  We can use anything you might have to exhibit.

Dry camping at Brooks is $12.00 a night.  The contact person is Colleen and her telephone number is 360 852-6910.
 
Ken Woodard and I attended a meeting at Brooks on Sunday, Feb. 14.  It was the first

From the President (cont.)

 

meeting regarding the 2010 show.  There was a request for our logo and some pictures to be used on the advertising poster and hand outs for the 2010 show.  Just how that will be used hasn't been decided yet.

 

Our annual meeting will be the 20th of March and let's see if we can have a majority of our members attend.  The club will provide fried chicken and drinks.  Please bring potluck dishes to go with this.  I am sure everyone will enjoy themselves.  We will also be having a silent auction at our meeting.  Please bring you surplus items so we can find them a new home and make a little money for the Chapter.
 
Larry Severance
President

Well folks, here we go, the beginning of the 2010 season.  This may be “The” season for us to showcase IH products in the Northwest.  It all starts at your annual meeting on March 20, 2010.  This is the time to come and find out about chapter plans and happenings, visit old friends and make new ones and to learn from others.  It also is a great opportunity for you to get involved in so many ways!

 

I am just finishing my stint as a Director and as Director In Charge and it has been a great time.  We would love to have you join in at whatever level you would like to… whether it be at your local show, our marquees event at Brooks or behind the scenes.  Start planning to have your IH piece at Brooks or at one of the other shows this season.  We would love to see you and “It”!

 

Jack Bailey,

Director/Director In Charge

 

 

 

Hello!  Hope that winter has been good to you and you have gotten a lot of work done on all your “winter projects”!  Brad’s been busy out in the tractor shop working on cleaning up one of my “Christmas” gifts…a special little Cub Cadet.  I’m sure you’ll see it at some of the shows this summer!

 

This will be my last newsletter as editor.  It’s just time for a break!  I’ve enjoyed doing it over the past few years, but I have other projects to enjoy right now.  Bob Bennett will be taking over for me and your next quarterly newsletter will be coming from Poulsbo, WA.  Stay tuned for some great new things!

 

I want to take this time to thank Needra Severance for being my “right hand lady”!  She helped me each time with getting the newsletter printed, helping me fold, staple and stamp each edition.  THANK YOU NEEDRA!!  I couldn’t have done it without you!!!

 

Can’t wait to see you all at the March 20^th Annual meeting and I’m totally excited about the upcoming summer tractor season!!!  See you under the IH Tent!
